Turn webpages into APIs with free web scraping tools
Apps Manager is a web scraping API builder. Extract data from HTML or JavaScript pages, map fields visually, and publish reusable JSON endpoints. Start with the free tier, then connect your own edge workers as your project grows.

}Free Web Scraping API, Web Scraping API Builder & Software License Management
Apps Manager eliminates tool fragmentation. Generate dedicated scraping endpoints, convert any website to a JSON API, and manage Ed25519 software licenses with hardware node-locking—all from one unified control plane.
Free Web Scraping API
High-performance free web scraping API with integrated Puppeteer headless automation and Cheerio DOM parsing. Render JavaScript-heavy single page apps, extract HTML elements, and capture viewport screenshots without maintaining browser clusters.
Web Scraping API Builder
Build, configure, and host custom web scraping APIs in minutes. Visual CSS/XPath selector extraction, dynamic query parameter injection, automated schema transformation, and 1-click deployment to public or private REST endpoints.
Website to JSON API
Instantly transform any website, table, article, or eCommerce catalog into clean, structured JSON APIs. Automatically purge unwanted HTML boilerplate, cast data types, and access fresh data with standard HTTP GET requests.
Software License Management
Enterprise software license management powered by asymmetric Ed25519 digital signatures. Enforce hardware node-locking by binding license keys to machine UUIDs and CPU IDs, enabling 100% offline verification in Electron, React, and desktop apps.
Distributed Residential Edge Workers
Bypass Cloudflare WAF, anti-bot screens, and datacenter IP blocks at zero proxy cost. Connect your laptop, desktop, server, or Android phone (via Termux) as an autonomous residential scraping worker over outbound WebSockets.
Backend Studio (BaaS) & App Auth
Design database schemas visually, run automated migrations, and immediately consume auto-generated REST CRUD APIs. Built-in end-user authentication with JWT sessions and RBAC out of the box.
Apps Manager SDK on NPM
Official apps-manager-sdk for Electron, Node.js, and React. Offline Ed25519 cryptographic validation, hardware fingerprinting, anti-tamper trials, and server-to-server verification.
Public API Hub & Developer Network
Discover, star, fork, and publish microservices in an interactive public registry. Build your developer reputation with earned stars, community followers, and open API blueprints.
Bypass Cloudflare WAF & Bot Screens at Zero Proxy Cost
Cloud datacenter IPs get blocked instantly. Apps Manager routes headless browser tasks through persistent outbound WebSockets to edge workers running on your local laptop, desktop, home server, or old Android phone.
Render Cloud Gateway
Incoming scrape / visual element picking requests arrive and enter the priority queue with single-flight deduplication.
Outbound WebSocket
Worker dials out to /workers. Zero inbound router ports, zero firewall config, works behind NAT & 4G/5G.
Residential Edge Worker
Executes Puppeteer with real residential broadband fingerprints (Airtel, Jio, Comcast, etc.) and auto-downloaded Chromium.
Target Web Application
Website accepts the request seamlessly as an authentic real user browser without triggering Cloudflare challenges or IP bans.
Turn Any Spare Hardware Into a 24/7 Scraping Node
Commercial residential proxy networks charge $10 to $20 per gigabyte. With Apps Manager, you deploy your own distributed mesh across your existing devices in seconds:
- Zero Installation Woes: Automatically checks for Chrome/Edge or downloads headless Chromium via
@puppeteer/browsers. - Android Phone Support: Run Termux on an old drawer phone with Wake Lock. It becomes an ultra low-power 24/7 residential node on home Wi-Fi or 5G.
- Single-Flight Deduplication: Simultaneous scrapes for identical URLs are grouped together to save bandwidth and compute cycles.
- Granular Access Control: Allocate workers privately to specific apps, organization teams, or lend idle capacity to the platform public pool.

100% Free Proxy Alternative
Say goodbye to $100+/mo residential proxy bills. Leverage your home Wi-Fi and 5G connections for clean, trusted IP reputation.
Zero Router Port Forwarding
Edge workers dial outbound over persistent WebSockets. No dynamic DNS, no firewall holes, and no port-forwarding headaches.
Autonomous Chromium Engine
No manual browser configuration needed. The CLI checks your host OS and automatically downloads stable Chromium on first run.
Smart Single-Flight Queue
Simultaneous scrapes for the same URL coalesce into a single execution flight. Concurrency throttling prevents CPU spikes.
Drop-In Client & Server Licensing SDK For Electron, React, Next.js & Node
Eliminate licensing infrastructure complexity. Install our lightweight client SDK, enforce hardware node-locking, and verify air-gapped cryptographic leases with zero backend roundtrips.
1-Line Electron IPC Bridge
Connect Main and Renderer processes effortlessly. setupElectronLicenseIPC and exposeLicenseAPI handle context isolation, secure hardware queries, and live state broadcasts.
Air-Gapped Ed25519 Leases
Clients verify cryptographically signed lease tokens offline against your embedded public key. Software remains fully licensed without requiring constant internet connectivity.
Low-Code React Hooks & Modal
Gate premium tiers with <LicenseGate>, query entitlement state with useLicense(), and prompt users with a drop-in dark glassmorphic <ActivationModal />.
